Animal Interactions: We try to have at least 60-minutes of animal interactions every day, but that may vary depending on animal availability and behaviour. Our top priority is the well-being and safety of both the campers and our animals. We provide a fun, inclusive and safe learning environment for our campers, and one that is free of undue stress on the animals.
